The demand for electric vehicles (EVs) continues to rise as countries adopt zero-emissions laws, leading to rapid growth in the industry. However, the current charging infrastructure is not yet able to keep up with this increase, prompting both charging companies and governments to work towards expanding publicly available charging stations and making them more reliable. By the end of 2022, there are projected to be approximately 2.8 million publicly available EV charging stations worldwide, a significant rise from just over 1.7 million in 2021. Governments are taking steps to address this issue, such as adopting state policies to favor equitable charging, and experts advise maintaining a healthy ratio of EVs to chargers. Projections show that the total number of publicly available chargers will increase to approximately 12.9 million by 2030, with China expected to have the highest number at over 8 million. Faster charging times are limited due to heat generated when electrical current is supplied to vehicle batteries, but research into new cooling technologies may help overcome this challenge.
